Chapter 221: The Princess Line - Rings 32 to 35
Duke Anzu Seifer led his band of powerful warriors in a fierce assault from the northeast, while Duke Randulus brought his forces from the southwest. The two factions launched a coordinated attack, flanking the Imperial formation and unleashing a barrage of powerful strikes.
Over 700 warriors of the Fifth Rank and above battled fiercely in the sky, their clashes producing loud booms that reverberated through the air.
Su Yu looked up, only to see a sky filled with various bright lights, creating a dazzling spectacle that made it impossible to discern the battle's progress. The area where Seventh Rank warriors fought was particularly blinding, with even a brief glance causing intense pain in the eyes.
The ground of the Forest City trembled continuously, as if a minor earthquake was taking place. Players within the city covered their ears and watched the ground, barely able to endure the intense light and noise from above.
As the battle intensified, every half-minute saw a Fifth Rank warrior fall from the sky, crashing to the ground. These were the fallen Fifth Rank warriors.
The lower-ranked NPCs of the Imperial side, those of the Third and Fourth Ranks, pounced on the fallen like vultures on carrion, hoping to find valuable items among the remains. Players were also eager to claim these spoils, but their slower speed made it impossible to compete with the NPCs.
However, some players had incredible luck.
A player named Mist Walker from the Mu Yun Guild was one such lucky individual. A Fifth Rank warrior's body fell from the sky and landed just three meters in front of him. Without hesitation, Mist Walker pounced and found a Fourth Rank Mage skill scroll—Dragon Breath (Excellent).
His good fortune sparked a flurry of admiration in the Mu Yun Guild's chat channel, with many players expressing their envy of this lucky king.
The guild leader, Cloud Shepherd, also chimed in to congratulate him, asking, "Mist Walker, are you willing to sell that scroll? I can offer you 100,000 Spirit Coins."
The value of Spirit Coins had changed significantly in recent days. After the government released information about the Skrulls, the value of Spirit Coins soared, from 1 Spirit Coin to 3 Flower Coins to 1 Spirit Coin to 25 Flower Coins.
Cloud Shepherd's offer of 100,000 Spirit Coins was equivalent to 2.5 million Flower Coins!
But Mist Walker was not swayed by the money. He quickly replied, "I'm sorry, Leader, but I won't sell this scroll. I plan to give it to the person who can make the best use of it."
He then brought the scroll to the Shadow Magic Array, where Su Yu was assigning tasks to players. "CEO Ke, I want to give you this skill scroll!"
"Fourth Rank Dragon Breath scroll? That's a valuable item!" Su Yu's eyes lit up. "However, it's quite valuable. I should buy it from you. How about 150,000 Spirit Coins?"
"No, no, I won't take a single coin!" Mist Walker firmly refused. "If I wanted money, I would have sold the scroll to the guild leader. I'm giving it to you because I believe you can make the most of it! In short, I genuinely want to give you this scroll, and I won't accept any money for it!"
"Alright then." Su Yu accepted the scroll, feeling a warm sense of gratitude.
"Let's add each other as friends. If you ever need help in the future, come to me, and I'll do my best to assist you!" Su Yu said, sending a friend request to Mist Walker.
"Sure, CEO Ke!" Mist Walker quickly accepted the friend request, a smile spreading across his face.
Compared to 150,000 Psychic Coins, the prestige of being on the game's VIP friend list seems even more significant!
...
The battle between the top-tier powers in the sky continued to rage on.
Every so often, another powerful warrior would fall.
When the battle reached the 20-minute mark, the rebel forces' vanguard of 200,000 troops arrived at the city gates, initiating a hasty assault.
These 200,000 troops were poorly prepared, lacking sufficient siege towers, battering rams, and catapults.
In reality, their primary objective wasn't to capture Forest City. Instead, they were there to provide cover for their own powerful allies fighting in the sky.
Within Forest City, the empire had a significant number of archer formations and mage legions, composed of fighters below the fifth rank. The combined arrows and spells from these units posed a significant threat to the fifth-rank rebels in the sky.
Thus, the 200,000 vanguard troops were tasked with drawing the attention of the archer formations and mage legions, creating a distraction for their allies in the sky.
...
Due to the arrival of the enemy forces, the next set of tasks in the Princess Line, from stages 32 to 35, were all war-related.
Players received various missions, including logistics, reconnaissance, constructing defensive facilities, and engaging in combat. They began to rush about, fulfilling their duties.
Su Yu's role was to issue these war tasks to the players.
During his downtime, Su Yu would log out to save game time and use his experience to uncover hidden, high-reward tasks within the city. He assigned these tasks to the players in his guild, indirectly boosting the guild's overall strength.
The battle in the sky lasted a full 24 hours, which equated to 12 in-game days.
During this period, 159 fifth-rank and 14 sixth-rank warriors perished. No seventh-rank warriors fell, but several were severely injured.
Notably, Cithian, through the use of the Shadow Magic Array, obtained a large number of "Madness Fragments." Not only did he gather enough to meet his advancement requirements, but he also had a surplus.
With the help of these extra fragments, Cithian gradually gained the upper hand, overpowering the seventh-rank rebels.
Cithian also ensured the protection of the Shadow Magic Array and gradually expanded its size. By the end, it could accommodate 100,000 players simultaneously.
Within the 24 hours, a total of 1.4 million players entered the magic array.
Su Yu received a 1% commission, totaling 14,000 first-rank skill books of various types.
He sold some of these skill books to guild players at a friend's price and handed over the remaining 13,000 to the relevant authorities to distribute to talented players who had entered the game later.
After 24 hours of battle, Cithian's momentum for advancement became unstoppable.
He had accumulated enough fragments, and the power of his treasures had reached its peak, leaving him just one step away from breaking through the bottleneck to the eighth rank.
The rebel forces, meanwhile, were still at a disadvantage, with no hope of a comeback, let alone stopping Cithian's advancement.
As Cithian's aura grew stronger and he was on the verge of becoming a god-tier warrior, a female paladin named "Madeline" finally stepped forward at this critical moment!
